THE uN1vERsALIsr MINISTRY.

Rev. DIR. DEMAREsT, Secretary of the
General Convention, furnishes the statis-
tics following in regard to the alleged de-
crease of ministers in our church, as re-
ported in the Independent:
Perhaps the reader has seen in the indie
pendent, or in some secular paper, the start
ling statement that in four years the Uni
versalist ministry has fallen off in numbers
to the extent of forty. The statement was
founded upon comparison of the table in
the Register for 1888 with that for 1887.
Those tables warrant the statement. But
they are subject to correction, in order to
present the facts. The "Register" for 1888
gives the names of 1913 preachers; but we find
two names duplicated, and the names of
26 whose authority to preach in our church
had already lapsed, notice of the lapse not
having been communicated to the editors.
Such names did not appear in the official
lists. The number should have been 695. In
the Register" for 1887, the total number is
693; but of the names should have been
omitted, leaving the proper number of 606,
showing a net loss of nine ministers in the
four years. 81 have died in the four years,
80 have resigned ministerial fellowship, SO
have been added.
We ought to face the facts; but they are
not quite so unfavorable to the brotherhood
as they seem. They are sufficiently en-
phatic to indicate the line on which special
effort needs to be directed.
The line limited at in the above closing
sentence is the recruiting of our ministry
from the youth of our church. The ear
nest discussion Of this subject, in our
press and at our meetings during the last
two years, promises to bear fruit very
soon. From several quarters We have
heard, during the last few months, OF i'm
portant accessions to our Theological
Schools in the autumn. The outlook is
encouraging. This matter is largely in
the hands of our pastors, whose duty it
is to seek out intellectual and pious young
men and women and direct them into the
ministry. Parents ought to be eneour-
aged also to forego worldly and secular
ambitions for their SONS and daughters,
and urged to cast their influence in favor
of the ministry as profession when the

AS to the warning of DR.. Balch against
the inroads of personal ambition" and
the"imperceptible" pro gress that church,
es make in the direction of the over
throw of personal liberty, these are gilt
tering generalities, which, to be of value,
must stand on foundation of fact If
there is any Pope, or College of Cardi-
nails, or Council of Ten, in the present
organization of our church, we have
failed to discover their whereabouts. If
DR.. Balch will specify plainly the indi-
viduals guilty OF assumption of author
ity," or those who are bent on making
the church an organ and instrument of
spiritual despotism, or who, in any way,
exceed the powers the church has COM
mitted to their hands, we promise to
print, in brazen capitals. their odious
names, and to rebuke vigorously their
offense. DIR. Balch may rest assured
that he is not the only Waterman on the
towers of Zion interested in these mat
ters. But with closer inside and out
side view than he enjoys of the workings
of our church, we fail to see any indica-
tions of autocratic power, or any dis
position on the part of any member of
our fraternity, in official position, to
exercise undue authority, in matters of
faith, finance, or church order We see
no signs on the horizon that the denom-
national Bluebeard, or the head Bishop
or Pope, or an official Inquisitor is on
the way. We have no idea that DIR.
Balch's fears will be allayed by anything
now presented but all the same, we make
this little contribution in that direction.
1t is not the working of any secret cabal
of denominational conspirators, that re-
suits in DIR. Balch's repeated alarms for
the future of the Universalist Church. 1t
is the movement of new age, and the
organizing forces now at the front in
UNCONVENTIONAL concerns, that occasions
the trouble. DIR. Balch's warnings will
always be attentivelY considered, but
the work will go on nevertheless. The
people are no longer afraid of organiza
ton, which has for its sole end the ben
eft of the church; and the most recent
intelligence accessible proves that they
are not disturbed by the ugly specters
which interfere with the peace of mind
of our distinguished brother.

DOCTRINE IN OREEDs.

Belief in the Trinity necessary to Salva-
ton. whatsoever shall be saved, be-
fore all things, it is necessary that he
hold the Catholic faith, which faith
except every one do keep whole and I'M
defiled, without doubt he shall perish
everlastingly. And the Catholic faith
is this: That we worship one God in
Trinity, and Trinity in Unity neither
confounding the persons nor dividing
the substance. For there is one person
of the Father, and another of the Son,
and another of the Holy Ghost. n
So the Father is God and the Son is
God, and the Holy Ghost is God.
He, therefore, who would be saved must
thus think of the Trinity"

"Our first parents, being seduced by
the subtlety and temptation of Satan,
sinned in eating the forbidden fruit,
by this sin they fell from their
original righteousness and communion
with God, and so became dead in sin
and wholly defiled in all the faculties
and parts of soul and body. They
being the root of all mankind, the guilt
of this sin was imputed, and the same
death in sin and corrupted nature con-
veyed to all their posterity descending
from them by ordinary generation.
From this original corruption, whereby
we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and
made opposite to all good, and wholly
inclined to all evil, do proceed all actual
transgressions."

question comes up for consideration in
the home. 1t is duty they owe to their
church, as we'll as to their families, to
build up the ministry from the home, and
furnish recruits for the advancing army
of the Lord. In no other profession are
the opportunities for the highest useful
ness SO great and the rewards so truly
blessed and permanent. Christian pa
rents would do we'll to consider this mat
ter from the standpoint both of duty to
their children and duty to the church.

DEATH oe REV. H. P. SAGE.

From Rev. Mrs. Danforth we have the
announcement of the death of this veter-
an servant of the gospel, whose honora-
BILE record is SO we'll known in Ohio. The
event took place at Huntington, O., after
months of severe suffering, from cancer
of the face, on the evening of Tuesday,
May II. So acute were his sufferings,
and so protracted the fatal illness, that
death seemed to all an angel of mercy"
Mrs. DaDforth a1ds the following outline
of the life and services of the good man
departed:
FATHER SAGE was born Jan. 18, 1901.
He came to Huntington, Lorain county,
o., in 1926. In early life he was an Epis-
copalian, but became converted to Uni
versalism, and with all the ardor of his
nature, proclaimed the glad tidings to
those who would listen in church, school.
house or grove. Being a man of great
sensitiveness,-keen, quick perceptions,
firm, decided convictions, and great ear
nestness, he felt the wrongs of humanity
and sought to right them. Although he
has not preached for number of years,
his mind remained active and much Of
his time was spent in writing. He was a
regular attendant at Sunday. school and
church until something over a year ago.
For five years he sat patient listener to
the writer as she tried to speak words that
would encourage, help and comfort the
people; and seem to see his face light
up now, as he caught vision before my
poor words could paint it,-a light that
always lent inspiration to the speaker.
Many people in the State of Ohio have
listened to Father Sage's words, and how
many souls he has led from darkness into
light, from sorrow into joy, from despair
into hope, by proclaiming the precious
faith Of Universal Love, it is not ours to
know. His funeral was attended by the
writer, and the words 80 death, where is
thy sting, o grave, where is thy victory"
seemed to have peculiar significance
for the occasion.
Father Sage was a Mason, and large
number of the order were present and
held their burial service at the grave.
His body was laid low within the circle
of the brotherhood, but his triumphant
spirit had risen.

In the reports of the Anniversary Week
meetings in Boston, our readers will not
be likely to overlook the paragraph de-
voted to the annual meeting of the Board
Trustees of the Publishing House. 1t is
a brief report, but extremely important
in the fact it communicates, and for
which it gives precise fgures-the larg-
est years business ever done by the
House was that of the last year. Our
Western Universalists are specially in
terested in this matter, and they are
expected to co -operate with the Western
Branch to beat the record next year, as
this year beats the record of last year.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-06-04

The special point made by DIR. Balch
in reference to Mr.. Nye's resolution at
Akron, is of no particular moment. That
resolution was fairly and freely discuss.
ed, the pros and cons considered, and in
the judgment of the Convention was de-
cisively rejected. Suppose, that the
defeat of the resolution at the Akron
Convention was i'll judged, and that it
would be wise to make all changes
in the constitution depend on the rati-
fication of the State Conventions,
the people, through their representa-
tives, have still abundant opportunity
to repair the wrong. The amendment
can come up again in new form for
consideration. 1t is possible that
another Convention may see its way
clear to amend Article VII. in this
way. 1t only is necessary to secure the
vote in the Convention, and to have the
change ratified by the succeeding con-
vention. 1t was considerations growing
| out of this latter fact that defeated the
amendment at Akron. It must be re-
membered that the constitution requires
the vote of a succeeding convention to
ratify all amendments. By this safe
guard, the action of any particular ses-
sion may be overruled. If not adversely
received, and the change meets the APP.
proval of two conventions, it is safe to
presume that the people are not adverse
to the proposition. If this is not Con-
gregationalism, it is democracy; the
people, by their representatives, making
and approving the laws for the govern
ment of the Church.

The scheme presented to the Pres
byterian General Assembly of last year
to erect bronze monument to JOHN
CALVIN in the city of Washington
which was referred to a committee fol-
administration, is reported this year at
the Omaha Assembly as dead,-dead
for the want of enthusiasm" in the
project. There was more brass than
bronze in the original proposition.
Not even Presbyterians are willing to
perpetuate the memory Of the murder
er of Servetus. The Interior drove
several very important nails into the
coffin of that little project. The prop
osition of The UNIvERsALIsT for mon
ument to Servetus in Washington, to
be erected by Unitarians and Univer-
salists, may now also be placed on the
retired list.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-06-04

The Golden Gate, of California, in a
recent issue, frees it's mind very plainly
on the subject of Eternal torments,. re-
marking: "a man who sincerely be-
ieved that doctrine would be unuttera-
bly, miserable. How could man with
one spark of generous feeling in his soul
look on his wife, children, friends,
neighbors and fellow-citizens dangling
on the brittle thread of life over eter-
nal woe, and take one moments pleas
IRE? Only heart of stone could do
so. What would be thought of a man
who could dance and sing, drink wine,
and indulge in laughter, while in the
next room were men and women, his
own parents and children, lacerated by
surgical instruments, blistered and eau
terized, their walls and shrieks falling
on his ear? Why, a tender-hearted
man can hardly stand by and see a
tooth pulled. And yet only think what
these preachers are doing. According
to their theology the way to heaven is
narrow and few there be that find it /;
while the way to hell is broad and
crowded with travellers; and yet they go
about the streets and places of business
laughing and joking with people on the
road to eternal horror, and often wind
up discussion ON hell with good din
ner, spiced with clerical wit and pun
gent anecdotes"
